1) It's gigantic. On my 8MB line here, it took about 30 seconds to load. As towy71 says, cut the Flash (a lot of Linux users don't like it), and make the page much simpler.

2) Include some sort of statement on the front page as to what it does! I had to go onto SourceForge to find out the description.

3) Making Yet Another Linux Distro That Looks Like Windows is a bad idea. In nearly a decade of Linux I've seen countless distros like this, and they simply don't work. Not only will Microsoft get onto you for ripping off their design, but it's a really bad move.

The more you make a Linux distro look like Windows, the more that users will be disappointed and confused when things don't work as expected. I don't use Gnome, but I respect the way it strives for a mostly unique look and feel -- giving an identity to Linux on the desktop.

Apple realises this too: create your own desktop, your own experience, so that you don't look like a cheap knock-off of the leader. When newcomers sit down with a Mac, they see that it looks very different to Windows, and must work differently too. Giving people a Linux distro that looks Windows-ish will just confuse them when they stray beyond Firefox and OOo.

Agree with others.. lose the flash! took me over a minute to load the front page. Reminded me of waiting for screen refresh on a 9600 modem line (oops showing my age!) Seriously.. don't they say that 50% of users lose interest if a page takes over 30secs to load?

Sorry didn't dig that deep, got fed up with waiting for the flash to load

If i wanted something that looked a bit like Vista I would check KDE-Look first, rather than installing a new distro.
If i wanted something that looked exactly like Vista, I would buy Vista (just like I bought the Amiga CD32 and the Sega Saturn).

It's probably not the feedback you wanted, but had you considered making this a distro-agnostic "widget HOWTO with downloadable theme"?
